president obama visits portland

i was there...
waiting in line...
to see the president of the united states

so it was almost 2 weeks ago

but i'm trying to catch up! we all said the pledge together

the gal from the band

pink martini

sang the national anthem

and we all were singing along

by the end

the d's

showed off their peeps

kitz is now our new governor

after a tight race

then we got to hear from

our president

i have to admit...

my tears were a little misty
when he came out
he spoke about
the right things take time

and they're worth the time

and sacrifice

like women's and civil rights

i told myself i can stay

in social work longer

emily and i enjoyed ourselves!

our first political rally

sporting our blue

i rode my bike to the convention center

then back home

i felt like a portlander

and the night skyline

continues to enchant me here
